Answer:

-9A · √(5yA)

Explanation:

The coefficient -3 stays the same.

45 factors into 5·9, which is helpful because 9 is a perfect square.

Thus, √45 = 3√5.

y cannot be factored. It stays under the radical.

A³ can be factored into A² (a perfect square) and A.

Thus,

-3√(45yA³) = -3 · 3√5 · √y · A · √A, or

= (-3)(3)(A) · √(5yA), or

= -9A · √(5yA)
